Thank you John. My mum was 1 of 9 and she went to Holly Park. She was born 1931 and lived in Russell Lane. Her friends Rowland Ede, Joyce Starkey and Freda Edwards also went there. Just wanted to see what the family looked like when they were younger.

Good to have your family information I was three years younger than Mrs McGowan. At the stage of life a large difference in groups that mixed. The other names I do not recall. Hope you get some other replies

My recent comment about Audrey Wilde was not correct. I have just phoned her and as I now recall she was at St Johns School in early years
